[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Osocontento:
Hi.

One of the better hardware implementations in Nexus One is the TB notifications. By the way I would like to upgrade manually mine to Gingerbread but I'm reading here and in some other forums that notifications are disabled for third party apps (I use ChompSMS, Whatsapp, and because of my work I usually have my phone silenced), so I just simply need those apps notificating me of new messages working through trackball color light.

SO, can anyone tell me if this is just an initial problem, has it been corrected?, any information will be very appreciated.

Hugs...

At this very moment, stock GB wont support them. The reason is that some changes were done in the OS Framework.

In case you want TA's you need to get a custom rom with the framework patched..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inlogan:
Trackball notifications work for me in Handcent and Trillian which are both third party apps and I only have unrooted Gingerbread. The only issue I've seen so far is in Handcent, it won't light the trackball when you are testing notifications, but if you actually receive a text the trackball lights up just fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Over Achiever:
I have trackball notifications with SMS, Mail, GMail, Meebo, and Yelp.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrplennium:
I was complaining about this in another thread as well. I lost notification for missed calls, and voicemails. It might pulsate for Gmail messages. Haven't tested text messages yet. When will google be addressing this??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Most of my notifications work fine, but my missed call notification doesn't blink any more. Lame.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarshadd:
My notifications stopped working entirely.

I restored and now the LED blinks only if the screen is off. Once I turn the screen on (even if I do not unlock the phone or do not dismiss the notification) it stops blinking.

If my screen is on when I get the notification originally, the LED never blinks.

[Epic 4G General] Aneirin:
After installing appbrain and syncing with my epic, it shows an app called "Gwang-Jyu Subway." Now I know I never installed this app so I chose to uninstall it. On my phone it says I am trying to uninstall "system update" and it does not allow it. The entry for this app in the android market says that it had been removed. Google for the author "hyun min cho" and samsung resulted in me finding this http://www.linkedin.com/pub/hyunmin-cho/25/5aa/663. What is this app that appbrain is finding? This seems potentially shady. Did some samsung engineer try to shove his own app in the phone as "system update?"

Does anyone know what this is?
[Epic 4G General] Aneirin:
To clarify: The only way to see the name of this app as Gwang-Ju Subway is to log onto the appbrain website. The phone itself identifies it as "samsung updates." I wiped the phone with the stock EB13 build using the .exe tool and installed appbrain immediately after. This app shows up on the phone. After syncing with appbrain and logging onto the appbrain site. I can't find any good information as to what is going on here anywhere.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Can you remove it through adb or terminal emulator?
[Epic 4G General] Aneirin:
Phone seems to think its a system file. I don't know what exactly I need to be entering to remove it.
[Epic 4G General] Aneirin:
The entry for this app on appbrain is http://www.appbrain.com/app/gwang-ju-subway/com.samsung. Is the "com.samsung" making this a false identification?
[Epic 4G General] bigfloppydb:
I just installed ERA Go Green, and found this as well... but I don't have app brain. It shows up in "my apps" in the market, but is not installed. the only thing that may have caused it was using Market doctor in Titanium backup. If it tried to link the com.samsung apps, it would have found this program...
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I've noticed this before too, but it was when I was using AppBrain. I chalked it up to a confusion with AppBrain, but I never looked into it too deeply. I remember the number of downloads being quite small, so I don't think it's some rogue Samsung app, as there would be many more instances of it if that were the case.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Freeze it...or uninstall it...problem solved. I think you need it for ota updates.
[Epic 4G General] lategordon:
It is a bug. The Gwang-Jyu app is using the same name (com.samsung or something like that) as a Samsung System app. So when appbrain reads the apps installed on your phone, it pulls in the subway app.

I believe appbrain fixed it.
[Epic 4G General] seroaddict:
I agree with everything here except for the last line. The problem is with AppBrain, not your phone. The Gwang-Ju app was pulled off the market long ago, but they've kept this entry in their database, and so one of our internal processes is falsely identified as this app that barely ever existed. Ignore it. Don't go freezing random system apps.
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
Freezing system update doesn't have any ill effects. I've done it, and you just need to unfreeze it if you need anything updated, like PRL or something else. If you put a certain PRL on there for some specific reason, freezing this is what will enable you to keep that PRL so Sprint won't roll it back.
[Epic 4G General] Seegy24:
I dont have app brain and never had but this app is showing up in my andriod market it says it is unavailable if I click on it but it still shows up. I think it has to do with me restoring market links with Titanium backup. But I cant seem to find it in TB to freeze delete or detach the market link.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sackofnoise:
Hi, i am gonna get a programmer analyst course in 2 months and i am looking for a phone so i can test (use as a lab-rat) my android applications on it (already have a galaxy S for everyday use but don't really want to use it as a test subject...). I would also like the device to have a physical keyboard. Up to now, i have found only about 3 devices that may fit my needs: droid, droid 2 and the desire z.

So here is my question(s):

Which one would be the more updated (rom/custom rom) on a long term basis?

Even if the bootloader is locked on the droid 2, should i still get it over the original droid? (specs wise, the droid 2 is more interesting but not sure about the development side...)

I have seen a lot of overclock thread on the droid original, what are the risks involved? (seen a lot of thread on overclock but not too much on dead droid resulting from an overclock...)

How many of you broke the glass of the original droid? (seen a lot of these too unfortunately :confused:)

And what is the chances of getting gingerbread on the droid/droid 2 (and if on the droid original, how would it handle with his lower processor and less ram?)

As for the desire Z, is it worth the extra cash over these two? and is there a strong development community for it (or is there more for droid 2/droid?)

Thank you very much and tell me if there is any other devices that may fit (more?) to my needs.

I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.

Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.

Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.

I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope :( :( :(

I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work

OK in my xbin folder, there is a su file...it's permission are rwsr-sr-x...would that have anything to do with this? Or would that su file be getting wiped out on a new rom install everytime anways...

Interestingly on my phone (4.1) I can't get into root through adb shell. Also adb root complains that this can't be done on a production build. Interesting but not related to your issue. permissions for su in /system/bin

When i flash back to stock, i have rooted using super one click, the root method included in aio toolkit, and a standalone update file someone sent me. I only use one method on any given install of course. I have tried not rooting at all, and just going into recovery, flashing CWM, and trying to flash zip file. A few people told me that rooting the stock os was not necessary to install a custom rom. Was not sure if it was true so i have done it both ways.
[General Questions and Answers] timmytim:
When you flash back to stock you are using Odin3 right? I HIGHLY recommend using Odin3 to flash to stock and then rooting with the Galaxy S 1 click root tool. I have both of these if you need them.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Well i got the odin3 and the stock rom. Dont think i have that root tool. Send it on over! Being that the su file is the one giving me hell do you think it may be related to root?

[General Questions and Answers] JoelParke:
I have Better Terminal Emulator Pro v3.33 on my phone and this gives a full shell that su on my phone gives me full root access at the shell level, even though I can't get there with adb. Not sure that this helps, as I can't quite imagine what stops the script from running on all the other roms besides 3.04.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Let me run that and see what mine says.
[General Questions and Answers] timmytim:
Yea, I get a full shell also with the free Terminal Emulator app. In terminal emulator you can try some commands to manually create the symlink (line 15 in the script) and see if that works or gives an error. Only issue with that is I dont know if that info gets written over during a reflash. A symlink is just a shortcut, similar to Windows when you put a folder on your C: drive and make a shortcut to that folder on the desktop.

Basically the script is trying to create a shortcut from system/xbin/su to system/bin/su.

The only reason that i can think of that failing would be permissions but you already said that they are correct. It could be an issue with folder ownership
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Yes i am able to get root shell access through terminal emulator and through adb...
[General Questions and Answers] JoelParke:
I am fairly certain that the info will get written over during the reflash. But, trying to create the shortcut from xbin/su to system/bin/su may well reveal the issue.

HAVE you tried formatting the internal sd card using the settings, SD card and phone storage, and then under Internal SD card, Format SD Card??? and then attempt install?
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
I would think that everything gets written over in a reflash, but obviously SOMETHING has to be staying and not changing that is causing 3.04 to be the only one that can work. That is what continues to lead me back to i have to find a way to COMPLETELY in a sense "zero out" the system/partitions. Some residual file or partition scheme has to be not getting erased.

So how would i go about the folder ownership issue?

Yes. I have tried formatting it within the rom, in the recovery, and by hooking it up via usb and partitioning it with a program. Only tried formatting it within the rom one time though.
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Yes but it's just formatting the partitions and doing what it does within recovery if we were to use the format options in there. We need the partitions to be blown out also so that when there put back there is no way whatsoever that anything left over can be correlated/read.

Have you compared the update-script from 3.04 vs 4 to look for any obvious changes?
[General Questions and Answers] timmytim:
Just another thought. Try this program called Android Commander. It will mount you to the root within Windows in a GUI, no command line!

Try to use it to blow away everything you see in the right windows pane. All the system files basically.

Also, on XDA there is a thread on repairing a corrupted internal SD card. Give it a try as a last resort. I think it 100% blow away your phone to a bare drive:

[General Questions and Answers] JoelParke:
I tried to learn how to format / delete much... and I found that IT IS ONLY AFTER booting into recovery and then connecting the usb cable, that you can get to into fully rooted form on the phone.

1. Boot into recovery

2. Connect the USB to compute

3. adb shell

- now you will see everything. At this point, not wanting to blow away my phone data, etc... I didn't go further.

NOTE: I first went this route, but then I noticed that while in recovery if you select: mount and storage

You have a host of options:

umount cache

mount system, data, cache, sdcard, sd-ext

format boot

format system

format data

format cache

format sdcard

format sd-ext

mount USB storage

So I would try format system, data, cache

If that format great,

Next I might format boot, but I don't know enough about what needs to be here to restore to stock, etc.

I hope this helps!
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
Am checking this out now!
[General Questions and Answers] xsteven77x:
I have went into the adb shell that way and formatted all of those things including boot. I do believe that it did not let me format boot though. If going this route, i think we need more serious commands. Like the one that totally removes the partition. I think its rm -rf /system but that one gives me access denied no matter what way i come from.
